WHAT?!?!

I love working in the advertising field...I really do! Yes, it has it's down times, times when I wish I would have never spent 4+ years of my life studying it...but most of the time I really enjoy it and it gives me many laughs. (Which, in my opinion you should have at least 1 good belly laugh a day)

When it was time for me to decide what to do with the rest of my life, I enrolled in college. I enrolled as an undecided major and spent as much time undecided as I possibly could. I started to lean toward a social work degree in my sophomore year, then I moved towards psychology in the second half of my sophomore year, then it was onto a teaching degree in my junior year (unfortunately my advisor told me I would never make it as a teacher that I should just find a different major) Wow! He was pretty blunt! I then moved to a communication/journalism degree in the second half of my junior year. I liked it...my favorite part was broadcasting media. I thought for sure I was going to be the next weather girl on ABC27 news in Harrisburg.
In the meantime, I was changing part-time jobs rapidly from cashier, pizza maker, jewelry salesperson, deli clerk, WTPA disc jockey covering the Hershey Bears games to front-desk person at the local newspaper. My boyfriend and I were also busy planning our wedding at this time.
My last semester of college I finally figured out what I wanted to do, I wanted to do computer graphics! It was artistic and fun! AND the local paper I started at was hiring a graphic artist...PERFECT TIMING! The last week of finals was also my last week as a single woman... (yes I was that crazy person that plans their wedding while taking finals) I took my last final on Friday and was married on Saturday evening. AND I got the job as a part-time graphic artist at a place I already knew everybody and how everything worked!
But now 5 or so years later (OK, that might be a little fib) I think it's time to change careers. Don't get me wrong, I still love doing graphics...I find it fun and a great way to be creative (most of the time). I don't think I will ever truly leave this field...I have many good memories from it. For example:

1. Never abbreviate Assorted...No one wants to eat Ass' donuts
2. I can't go to a restaurant without critiquing the menu design.
3. There is never a time that you should use Comic Sans...NEVER
4. Fux is so close to fax and will not be caught by spellcheck...Please fux us 000-000-0000....
5. Restaurants very rarely served masked potatoes for Thanksgiving.
6. You never turn your clocks forward by turning them cockwise.
7. Kerning is very important...(this is the space between each letter) For example: If you wish to say Just a click away and the c and l are too close, it will end of saying Just a dick away.
8. Pubic and Public are very close in spelling, though they mean two entirely different things.
9. As a graphic designer you don't want to hear "I need the design in Word so I can make changes myself." WHAT?!?!
10. I do not know how to add and subtract, so don't even ask me. I do understand letters and fonts though :)
11. Make sure you get the right vowel when talking about a great deck for entertaining..."Huge dick for entertaining" doesn't quite paint the same picture

So where do I go from here? I wish I knew. Each day is a new adventure :)
